As far as proportional representation goes, it is hard to argue that a party that gets 0-4% of the vote pretty much everywhere but Vancouver Island deserves more than the one seat it got.

Well first of all you know that PR is the rallying cry of the losing party, regardless of which party. Second, as far as the number of seats to which percentage its easy enough to set a hurdle rate for parties to achieve a certain percentage before they get seats.
On topic, I am thrilled for Kent Hehr and I think that he will do an amazing job as MP. He should definitely be in cabinet, first of all as representing Calgary Centre, but second because he was a popular 2 term MLA and obviously has some experience to lend. I'm disappointed that Matt Grant didn't get in as well; I think that he would be twice the MP that Webber will be regardless of policy.
